I'm off work because I'm leaving for a family reunion in PA today--stopping by to wish everyone a wonderful show and wonderful weekend!

Doug Schulkind:
@Matt
Your family in Pittsburgh is waiting with open arms and stewpots overflowing with kielbasi!

Fri. 8/10/12 8:55am
Matt from Springfield:
Unfortunately I'm not near Studio P (Bressler, central PA), but you've got the rest of that vibe down! Say hello to any Slovenians/Croatians in the Pittsburgh area for me!

Fri. 8/10/12 8:56am
Matt from Springfield:
Hurry Doug! Keep a bottle of Purell if there's no time to wash your hands!

Fri. 8/10/12 8:58am
Matt from Springfield:
Listening from home, which is *civilized*--you can listen to any stream, on any software here. I can even say that the African piece before this was "Alhaja Queen Salawa Abeni - Ere Iawa se" -- because I can SEE that with Winamp!

If I do say so myself, it was with near-olympic synchro timing that the final brush-stroke of the second coat of paint was applied to the porch. Just as the opening theme cranked up. Afternoon all and sunny.

Fri. 8/10/12 9:09am
Michael:
Morning Doug and fellow travellers - ready to be primed for the weekend with Drummer Some.

Fri. 8/10/12 9:09am
Doug Schulkind:
Get the bucket brigade for still b/p!! I'll try to play some extra wet music.

Fri. 8/10/12 9:11am
Matt from Springfield:
Gotta finish getting ready but will keep the sound blaring, so consider me a silent partner to the rest of the proceedings. A rare catch of the opening and pre-chat for the early Friday show! Have a wonderful weekend all!

Fri. 8/10/12 9:11am
seang:
yeah man, love this track

Fri. 8/10/12 9:12am
Doug Schulkind:
Greetings to you ? and to you, too, Michael. And even to you, seang! No, especially to you.

Fri. 8/10/12 9:13am
Paul Sherratt ?:
Answers on a postcard. I have this fine Latin Playboys - thanks to a former Brooklyn inhabitant.

Fri. 8/10/12 9:14am
still b/p:
Yes, yes, Sons of the Pioneers: Cool Water.
Or in case of more intense emergency, Louis & Keely...'only your kiss...put out the fire!"

Fri. 8/10/12 9:24am
kat330:
Ooops, the typos are still haunting -- um, take Paul's extra "L" and give it to Michael. :)
[And I just pulled your nice note, Matt -- thanks, and have a great family reune!]

Fri. 8/10/12 9:25am
kat330:
Reminds me, I went back to Amanda's list after the fact and saw you kindly deleted a horrific grammar error -- many thanks for having my back, good sir! :)

Fri. 8/10/12 9:26am
Brian in UK:
Paul, never even had a Corgi model, did have James Bonds' Aston Martin though.

Fri. 8/10/12 9:27am
still b/p:
If the Queen's aboard, no one can speak until she does, eat until she eats, or drum until she drums. And doooon't touch her!

Fri. 8/10/12 9:28am
Paul Sherratt:
She's not about at the moment, probably getting some drink in for the weekend. No, citizens of this Isle can suggest honours recipients and now that Mr Sahm has left us, well, there's a gap that needs filling ..

Fri. 8/10/12 9:30am
Doug Schulkind:
@kat330
My pleasure. I am an out-of-work copyeditor What the hell else is there for me to do?

Fri. 8/10/12 9:31am
Brian in UK:
still b/p she is very small though not as small as the 4' 11" Korean weight lifter who lifted THREE times his own weight. Well not his own weight but metal things on a bar.

Fri. 8/10/12 9:54am
kat330:
Other tunes that called to me from those books were Honeysuckle Rose, Brother Can You Spare a Dime, East of the Sun & West of the Moon, to name but a few.

Fri. 8/10/12 9:54am
kat330:
And this title, too, AAMOF!

Fri. 8/10/12 9:57am
still b/p:
In the Goodwill vinyl piles, there are ALWAYS some Hawaiian records...some of them looking like the shmaltz and lightweightishness are turned up to 11. Everybody had 'em in their day?

Fri. 8/10/12 9:57am
Brian in UK:
Funny you should mention that kat. Beck seems to be of a similar mind except it is new songs.

Fri. 8/10/12 10:00am
kat330:
Wow, cool, Brian -- thanks for that! Yeah, those big songbook collections were manna for me. From them I taught myself guitar (well, the bass uke to start) from those fret symbols over the chords.

Fri. 8/10/12 10:02am
kat330:
On my own purchases, I bought "Great Songs of the '60s" and the wonderful Judy Collins Songbook, but guess I lost heart beginning in the '70s. ;)

Fri. 8/10/12 10:05am
lewis:
been present but silent for some time this and previous weeks... The talk over track is on a fmu comp from the past perhaps "drunken guitars" or one that Ken did with the nose drop exceprts in it...
greetings all!

Fri. 8/10/12 10:06am
kat330:
Hi, Lewis!

Fri. 8/10/12 10:12am
Doug Schulkind:
Hi Lewis! Ken and I have both been using that Glenn Lee number to talkover for a few years. Great minds music bed alike.

Fri. 8/10/12 10:16am
Artie:
I've no idea what Gisela is proposing, only that I'm behind it all the way.

Fri. 8/10/12 10:17am
trish:
Guten morgen, everyone.

Fri. 8/10/12 10:18am
kat330:
Can't be certain, Artie, but maybe this from Wikipedia? "Der Graben (German, literally, "the trench") is one of the most famous streets in Vienna's first district, the city centre."

Fri. 8/10/12 10:21am
Doug Schulkind:
@holland
Ever since I downloaded this (and shared in this week's Motherlode), I've been thinking it's GOT to be a pseudonym. There is simply NO info about this record online, other than the closed eBay sales, of course. I will investigate the Rosetta notion!

Fri. 8/10/12 10:22am
Artie:
There are risks in that trench, but pleasures also. And afterwards, a gospel choir to lift me towards redemption. All before 11:00 AM. Ooh sweet music, where can't you take me?

Fri. 8/10/12 10:22am
holland oats:
get on it inspector drummersome!

Fri. 8/10/12 10:23am
Doug Schulkind:
OK, I've just discovered that Sister Rosetta did in fact record "What Are They Doin' in Heaven." The plot thickens.

Fri. 8/10/12 10:25am
kat330:
Is it actually Downton, as in Abbey, and not Downtown?

Fri. 8/10/12 10:26am
kat330:
@Artie: My journey's been like a moviescape: We had South Pacific there for a set, then Gisela's song evoked The Third Man.

Fri. 8/10/12 11:07am
Doug Schulkind:
@Brian in UK
Yes, Turkish jazz! Recorded for a television soundtrack I think. Haven't gotten the story straight on that LP. Maybe listener Holland Oats can solve that one, too.

Fri. 8/10/12 11:09am
Hugo:
Speaking of Joe McPhee, Brooklynites should get this one:

Just sayin'

Fri. 8/10/12 11:10am
Brian in UK:
Steady Doug you will have him on the meaning of wife next.

Fri. 8/10/12 11:53am
Doug Schulkind:
Cheerio kat330! I will stick around for the next hour, hosting Steinski's A Rough Mix. I won't doze off. I promise.

Fri. 8/10/12 11:56am
listener james from westwood:
my absence from the chat was part crazy work pile, but part silent awe. a joy to see you all, and many thanks, doug, will be in for the bulk of steinski before i'm called away.

Fri. 8/10/12 11:57am
jessie:
what a beautiful last set.

What a loss to soul music when Darrell Banks was shot.
